It’s fair to say we’re pretty familiar with this. Part of Bill’s subconscious told him that his life was worth living (or maybe a sneaky member of his family whispering into his ear)

Eminem isn’t interested in taking part in the awkward beginning stages of a relationship where a young couple might babysit another child together to pick up valuable experience should they have a kid of their own in the future.

So if they asked him to babysit her he would shut them down immediately.
